Kent shows worst drug deaths figures in the South East

Drug deaths in England and Wales are at the highest level since records began with Kent seeing the highest figures in the South East. Deaths from drug poisoning have gone up in the county but figures have decreased in Medway. Canterbury saw the biggest rise with 51 deaths between 2016 and 2018, a 50% increase since 2014. To talk more about these figures we were joined in the studio by Professor Alex Stevens from the University of Kent.
